Chapter 776

The road to the breakthrough of the First Legion of the Imperial Guard is a tragic road poured with blood. Along the way, there are dedications and sacrifices; there are life and separation, and there are also death.

People kept falling, and people kept breaking out.

On the battlefield of swords, lights and swords, no individual can decide their own destiny alone. Soldiers can only twist into one rope and decide the survival of individuals through teamwork.

The scenes of breakout and interception, encirclement and counter-encirclement are being staged everywhere on Nuo Da's battlefield.

The fighting shook the sky, and blood flowed like rivers.

From time to time, the screams of the iron armored beast can be heard.

The battlefield was dusty and bloody, like a melting pot of heaven and earth, refining the fate of hundreds of thousands of people.

Huo Qubing personally led the Fifth Division to rush all the way. With the Iron Armored Beast Division opening the way, and under the cover of the Shanman Heavy Infantry Division and Ma Teng Division, they finally broke through the Allied defense line.

"We can't let Huo Qubing escape!"

The Allies did not give up, and sent the most elite cavalry units to pursue.

The chasing cavalry rode on elite Mongolian horses, which were comparable to the green clam horses of the imperial guards. In desperation, Huo Qubing could only activate the specialty of [Riding and Combat].

Cavalry combat: Increase the morale of cavalry units by 30%, increase the movement speed of cavalry units by 50%, increase the lethality of cavalry units by 35%, and increase the stamina of cavalry units by 40%.

The specialty of the god general is that it is against the sky, and the gap between them can be widened in one fell swoop.

But the allied forces were not vegetarian either. They were like a pack of hounds, biting at the back of the imperial guards.

The imperial guards fled for a day and a night, except for a little emergency repair for three hours at night, they never dismounted halfway. In this way, he finally got rid of the enemy's pursuit completely.

The tragedy and helplessness in the process cannot be described in words.

…………

Dongchuan County, the nameless wilderness.

"Stop moving forward, rest in place!"

Huo Qubing issued the second order to rest and reorganize the army, because he noticed that even with the strength of the green clam horse, such continuous riding is already foaming at the mouth, and it seems to be unable to support it.

"Swipe!"

The high-speed army stopped immediately, and its movements were still uniform without any distortion.

Ignoring the bleeding wounds, the soldiers silently took out the water bottle in their rucksacks, fed water to the horses first, and then handed over a ration pill. War horses are the lifeblood of knights, more important than wives.

Seeing their beloved horse foaming at the mouth, the knights felt distressed.

As the strongest legion in the territory, the imperial guards received the best treatment. Take Junliang Pills as an example. Among the field regiments, only the Imperial Guard General Liang Pills are used as standard supplies, and other regiments do not have such treatment.

Thanks to the army ration pills, the Fifth Division has been supported until now. On the way to escape, the soldiers didn't even have time to get off their horses and eat, let alone bury the pot to make food.

As for the city that has already been laid down, they dare not go in. Who knows if there is an ambush inside.

When attacking Dongchuan County, in order to make a quick decision, the imperial guards rushed to the next city after finishing the defenders of each city, and there was no time to implement any effective control over the city.

At this time, the news of the frontline defeat of the imperial guards probably spread throughout the major cities of Dongchuan County. Who knows what the people in the city are thinking.

At that time, the situation on the battlefield was urgent. In order to break through the siege smoothly, the food, supplies, siege equipment, and even two P1 artillery pieces carried by the Imperial Guards were all discarded on the battlefield, and it was too late to take them away.

On the way to escape, the team responsible for transporting food and grass also suffered. Not only a large amount of food and grass were intercepted by the enemy, but even the peasants who transported the food were brutally slaughtered.

The allied forces are a pack of hungry wolves, and they can do anything to ordinary people.

Seeing this, the officers and soldiers of the security division responsible for supervising the transportation of grain and grass gritted their teeth and simply let the peasants disperse on their own and fled into the wilderness of Dongchuan County in order to escape the catastrophe.

This ambush was tantamount to a disaster for Shanhai City.

…………

Huo Qubing looked at the remnant soldiers and defeated generals around him with a tired expression. Continuously opening [Riding Battle] all the way, even for a general like Huo Qubing, it is a very heavy load.

"Calculate how many people are left." Huo Qubing ordered the adjutant accompanying the army.

"promise!"

Soon, the situation of each department was summarized.

Although the Iron Armored Beast Masters are fierce, their endurance is not as good as that of war horses. Even if they broke out, they were destroyed one by one under the pursuit of the enemy cavalry.

The Ma Teng division in charge of cover fell directly into the encirclement, and none of them escaped. According to the final statistics, there were only more than 10,000 people who really broke through, which was less than a division.

Huo Qubing listened, but remained silent, he didn't know how to explain to the king.

Although this ambush was a useless battle, and there was also negligence of the intelligence department, but as the leader of the left army, he was also responsible for not doing a detailed investigation before attacking Yongren City.

Otherwise, even if the Allied forces were lurking in the opposite Shu land, they would not be able to suddenly cross the border without anyone noticing and encircle the imperial guards.

It is a shame that all the secret sentries arranged by the imperial guards were removed by the enemy.

"Go back to Lingxi City!"

After resting for two hours, Huo Qubing ordered again. Dongchuan County can't stay any longer, and now it can only take one step at a time, rush back to the headquarters first, and then make a long-term plan.

With a slight tilt, the Haohao cavalry disappeared into the wilderness.

*************

Dongchuan County, Yongren City.

In the evening of that day, the encirclement and annihilation battle on the main battlefield had come to an end.

Corpses littered the battlefield, and rivers of blood flowed.

In this campaign, in order to defeat the First Army Corps of the Imperial Guard, the Allied Forces and the Allied Forces did not pay a price. According to the final statistics, more than 30,000 people were killed by the Allied forces, and more than 40,000 people were killed by the coalition forces.

The battle losses of the allied forces mainly occurred in the rear to block the armored beast divisions from breaking through, while the deaths of the allied forces were basically caused by the two mountain barbarian heavy infantry divisions and the Ma Teng division.

Of course, their final results are also considered rich.

In this campaign, a total of more than 45,000 Imperial Guards were beheaded and 15,000 were captured, which was regarded as the completion of the expected goal. Even veteran Ma Teng died in battle.

The Praetorian Guard is a very fierce army, even in that situation would not surrender. The captured prisoners of war were basically captured helplessly when they were unable to resist.

Therefore, the captives were mainly cavalry.

In the later period of the war, the barbarian warriors basically turned on madness, and they put life and death aside. According to the final statistics, less than 2,000 people from the two mountain barbarian heavy infantry divisions were captured. The captured mountain man also let the enemy succeed because of the side effects of berserk transformation, and his whole body was weak.

Otherwise, it would be very difficult for the mountain barbarians to survive.

The Shanman clan is so fanatical, they would rather die in battle than be captured, just like their ancestor Chi You, although rough, he is a real man.

Looking at the desolate battlefield, Allied Commander Wu Qi couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "Shanhai City Imperial Guards really deserve their reputation!" In such an unfavorable environment, the Imperial Guards still completed such an astonishing kill, which is really shocking.

Although they won this battle, they "killed eight hundred enemies and lost one thousand themselves". Therefore, after the war, there was no decisive change in the balance of forces between the two warring parties.

This result was completely beyond Wu Qi's expectations.

Before the war, who would have thought that such an ending would happen.

Of course, they won after all!

The greatest significance of this battle is not the comparison of forces, but the impact on the morale of the two warring parties.

Think about it, the most powerful imperial guards in Shanhai City were defeated by them. For the Allied Forces and the Allied Forces, what fear did the other legions in Shanhai City have? !

In this way, they have the strategic initiative.

On the contrary, the Shanhai City army, which has always been rumored to be invincible, has encountered the biggest Waterloo in its life, and it may be difficult to adjust in a short time.

The battle on the main battlefield began to become beneficial to [Yunnan City-State].

"Go back!" Wu Qi ordered.

After hastily cleaning the battlefield, neither the Allied Army nor the Allied Army stayed in Yongren City for long, and immediately teleported away. The destination was Qin Feng's Tengchong City.

Such an arrangement shows that [Yunnan City-State] no longer wants to follow the rhythm of Shanhai City strategically. On the main battlefield previously set, there are only 50,000 coalition troops stationed.

I don't know what kind of medicine they sell in the gourd.

After the army withdrew, the construction of Dongchuan County was temporarily handed over to the neighboring Swordsman City. According to the agreement, Swordsman City will send 40,000 troops to take over the defense of the entire Dongchuan County.

"Transferring Dongchuan County" was originally one of the agreements signed between [Yunnan City-State] and [Yanhuang League]. The entire battle plan had been implemented as early as a month ago.

In addition, Swordsman City has another task, which is to take care of prisoners of war.

Also according to the agreement, all the prisoners of war in the Yunnan War will be divided among [Yanhuang League], and [Yunnan City-State] has no right to accept prisoners of war.

[Yanhuang League]'s style of doing things is still so domineering.

…………

With the withdrawal of the army, the bustling Yongren City regained its calm, except for the piles of bones outside the city, it seemed like nothing had happened.

Everyone knows that this place is destined to become famous in the wilderness because of this ambush.

*************

The news that the First Legion of the Imperial Guards of Shanhai City was ambushed outside Yongren City and nearly wiped out spread across the wilderness, shaking the world.

According to the statistics of interested people, this is the worst failure of Shanhai City since it established itself in the wilderness. The loss was the most famous Imperial Guard, which made it even more topical.

The entire forum became lively.

Even the players in other districts are silently watching this epic battle.

All of a sudden, the voices of Shanhai City from major media continued to pour out. Many experts predict that the arrogant Shanhai City will have a big somersault on the Yunnan battlefield.

Not to mention whether Shanhai City can win the [Yunnan City-State], whether it can get away with it is a question.

The haze that shrouded Yunnan has ushered in the sun for the first time, and the dawn of victory seems to be beckoning to [Yunnan city-state].

In the eyes of experts, the direction of the war has become clear.
